Teens these days are sooooooooooooo lucky. For the first time on the Isle of Man, 16 &17 year olds will get to vote in the general election.

I wonder if this will change how politicians talk about important issues so they can engage the kiddies? Maybe they could talk about the Island’s waste management issues. “Garbage is totally gross!” Or what about the recent discussion of the national speed limit? “Speed Sucks!” Or perhaps to debate the ban on smoking in pubs…”Smoking is, like, sooooooooooooooooo stupid!”

Whatever they talk about, it’s best they keep it under 60 seconds, to maximise the teen attention span.

Remember teens, you’ve earned this vote thru a lot of hard work and lobbying. Don’t forget to vote!
